This is one of the most amazing close up "illusions" to have appeared in recent times. In effect a playing card in a clear plastic sleeve instantly changes into a completely different card without any cover. The transformation is gradual, visual, and incredibly mysterious. The sleeve may also be used to produce or vanish a card. This is very beautiful magic and originally sold for around fifty dollars. 60nufdr00390

The magician reveals a small plastic envelope and states that his prediction is inside. The magician then has a spectator choose a playing card. When the prediction and the spectator's playing card are compared, the cards don't match. Oh no, failure? The magician tosses his prediction playing card into the air and it instantly and visibly transforms into a duplicate of the spectator's chosen card! Sound impossible? It is really cool just to stand in front of a mirror, throw the gimmicked card into the air, and see it magically change! The gimmicked card may be shown on both sides before and after the change. We can't say enough about this one! 007nuffi00710

Four cards of the same value are haphazardly placed into the middle of the deck. The deck is placed in a crystal stem glass and the glass is momentarily covered with a handkerchief. When the hank is whipped away, one of the cards has jumped to the front of the deck! This is repeated three more times and each time one of the cards jumps to the front. Simple, easy to do, and the trick can be reset in seconds. Comes complete with a deck of cards, glass, and full instructions. Handkerchief not included. A version of this trick was perfomed by Lance Burton on a recent television special.
